Yeast Genetics & Genomics - CSHL - Summer 2025 - Application deadline March 31

Screenshot 2025-01-17 at 6.53.19 AM

For over 50 years, the legendary Yeast Genetics & Genomics course has been taught each summer at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, though the name didn’t include “Genomics” in the beginning. The list of people who have taken the course reads like a Who’s Who of yeast research, including Nobel laureates and many of today’s leading scientists.

The application deadline is March 31st, so don’t miss your chance!

Find all the details and application form at the CSHL Meetings & Courses site. This year’s instructors – Grant Brown, Soni Lacefield, and Greg Lang – have designed a course (July 22 – August 12) that provides a comprehensive education in all things yeast, from classical genetics through up-to-the-minute genomics. Students will perform and interpret experiments, learning about things like:

Topics

  • Transformation & Genome Engineering
  • Microscopy
  • Manipulating Yeast
  • Dissecting Tetrads
  • Isolating Mutants
  • Working with Essential Genes
  • Synthetic Genetic Arrays
  • Fluctuation Assays
  • Whole Genome Sequencing & Analysis
